The book in your hand is a collection of six inspirational stories. These are the stories of six amazingly talented and arguably the most original scientists that India has ever seen. The stories are inspirational because these scientists were people like you and I who never lost faith in themselves and worked very hard, made sacrifices and took every opportunity life gave them, and made a mark for themselves and for their country, India, on the science world stage.Inside you will read short biographies of A.P.J Abdul Kalam, Jagadish Chandra Bose, Prafulla Chandra Ray, C.V. Raman, Homi Jehangir Bhabha and Srinivasan Ramanujan. The book endeavours to take you to the world these scientists lived in. It touches their childhood, describes their school and college days, tells the hardships and indecisions they went through and recounts their journey to success and stellar achievements in the world of science.It will be interesting to see that many of these scientists had to fight against the British imperialistic mind-set and their partiality against Indians and at the same time, ironically gained a lot of their scientific insights and patronage from Britain and other western countries.
